Face mask or face guard in late roman period
#61
Quote:Yes, Robert! Something like his seems practical indeed.

Quote:Practical maybe, but the description of the helmet 'forged in one piece' suggests it and the mask were integral...

And that's the odd thing, integral masks were not used by the Romans before. So a topos after all?

Nathan, all that stuff about dating the Aethiopia - are you SURE we should not split this topic? :?:
